    Undoubtedly a scary fast car. Wonder how the GT2 RS compares to it at almost twice the price?

    It's been four years since Randy said it was an over steering sick puppy with good brakes.

    Mr. Pobst also stated: "Tremendous grip in the corners"

    "Get it running right, it's way down on power"

    That one was definitely not hitting on all 8. Probably nothing to do with it being a press car. LOL

    Rare company indeed in a street car...
    Most race drivers would feel a little vulnerable at those speeds with out race car safety, roll cage, 5 point belts, on board fire system, hans device, fire suit.

    Last month watched a brand new Camaro ZL1 run great at Big Willow all day until it backed into a hay bail.
    The heat from the bent exhaust pipe caught the interior carpet on fire and torched/totaled the inside of the car.
    If you plan to go to the track at those speeds why not have a much safer real race car for less money.
    My SCCA racer buddy asked my if he should offer the guy 15k for it as it would make a good SCCA spec race car.
    I told him not to make the offer, let the guy suffer in peace.

    I'm on my second vette now, its a 04 C5 Z06 with almost 30k miles at laguna.

    Our late 80s tube chassis IMSA race car runs low 1:30s at Laguna too.
    I'm sure Randy could help me shave off a few seconds.

    I really Like Laguna and Randy P, favorite track to drive and one of my favorite drivers.
    Here he is getting real, blaming himself.
    Rarely have I ever heard a driver admit fault.
